Throughout the book‚ Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil‚ the story is conveyed from a first person’s point of view‚ mainly from the perspective of the narrator. The story is about the narrator’s journey when he observes and learns a great deal of things about residents in Savannah and their ways of life. The movie‚ on the other hand‚ is somewhat inaccurate. Though it is long‚ approximately about three hours‚ it leaves many important details about the town‚ main characters and the narrative.

the sensations felt during the act is always good. He is saying that when you have too much of it or pursue it too often‚ it ends up bringing pain and lasts only a short while. It is in this sense that Epicurus is a hedonist. A hedonist is one who believes that pleasure is the greatest good for people. This developed Epicureanism‚ a hedonistic philosophy that stressed science‚ serenity‚ and friendship as the keys to pleasure‚ happiness‚ and the good life. Some of the greatest producers
